Holly Guelig Counseling, PLLC

Have you spent so much time showing up for everyone else that you're not sure where to start with yourself? Maybe you're carrying wounds from your relationship with a parent, or you learned early to take care of everyone else—keeping the peace, being the responsible one, or putting your own needs last. Maybe you're now in the throes of parenting or caregiving yourself. Life can feel especially heavy when you're navigating work, relationships, trauma, caregiving, and everything else life asks of you. Let's walk together through the season you're in and make room for growth, regulation, and joy. Therapy with me is a place to slow down, work through the challenges you're facing today, and better understand the past experiences and patterns that have been in the driver's seat for far too long. Over two decades in mental health care and school systems have shown me that the experiences we've lived through and the responsibilities we carry today often shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and our lives. If caregiving is part of your story, you deserve a space where the weight of those responsibilities, and the grief, is understood—not something you have to explain. Not everyone I work with is a parent, but many of my clients have spent years showing up for everyone else while quietly setting their own needs aside. Maybe you work in healthcare, the school system, are a first responder, or simply find yourself carrying more than your share. Together, we'll make sense of what's keeping you stuck, build capacity through nervous system regulation, and develop practical ways to move through life with greater compassion and confidence—so you can feel more present in your relationships, more grounded in yourself, and more connected to the life you want to live. Let's make room for your healing, regulation, and joy so you can show up for what matters most. More Than Talk Therapy... I'm trained in Brainspotting, a brain and body-based approach that can support deeper processing beyond words alone. Brainspotting is experiential, allowing the nervous system to process memories organically. I'm also trained in Sand Tray Therapy and may incorporate online sand tray into sessions when appropriate. Like Brainspotting, it is an experiential approach that can help access emotions, deepen self-understanding, and support healing. It can be especially valuable when words are hard to find or don't seem to fully capture your experience. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, we'll work together to find what feels most helpful for you. I can integrate attachment-based, trauma-informed, and evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to your unique needs, goals, and comfort level. Frequently Asked Questions Do you accept insurance? I am an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. FSA and HSA payments are accepted. Do you provide superbills? Yes, I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance at no additional cost. How do I know if I have out-of-network benefits? I recommend you contact your insurance provider and ask them directly. They may ask you for CPT codes: 90791 (Initial Assessment) and 90837 (55-minute Psychotherapy session). Do you offer in-person therapy? I provide secure telehealth therapy for adults throughout Virginia. Do you offer parent coaching? This practice is centered on therapy for adults. Parent coaching is generally centered on parenting strategies and child-related challenges. Therapy is centered on you—supporting your emotional well-being, building capacity, and understanding the patterns that influence how you navigate parenting and other areas of life. My background working with children and families allows me to thoughtfully support parents as they navigate parenting challenges, while keeping the focus of therapy on you. Do you work with teens? I work with older teens who are a good fit for telehealth therapy. My experience working with teens across schools, higher education, and outpatient mental health helps me support them (and their parents) as they navigate increasing independence, relationships, identity, and life's transitions. Do you offer a free consultation? Absolutely. I'm happy to answer your questions during a free 15-minute consultation. How do I schedule a free 15-minute consultation? Click 'Request Appointment' to directly sign up for a slot. If the times/days listed don't work, no worries, click 'Contact' or call the number listed, and we can work out a time/day that works. What can I expect during the first initial session? Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, talk about what's bringing you to therapy, and begin identifying your goals. We'll work together to develop a plan that feels right for you. What if I'm not sure therapy with you is the right fit? That's completely okay. Finding the right therapist is important. The consultation is a chance to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and decide whether working together feels like a good match. There is no obligation to schedule. I can also provide other referrals if that is helpful.
